--=-YoyuDSx9gU0di2VtKbCP Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable The nearly static IP has been my experience too. In fact, I just set up my fw to use this static IP and every once in a long while (weekly I think), I run my version of a dhcp client just to let them know I'm still alive as they do stop service somewhere along the way if you haven't "pinged" them. FYI, the reason I use a static IP setup is so I can use the DNS servers I want and not have them overwritten by the DHCP server's values. *&^*@ DNS servers, never updating and whatnot.
